The ninth elder brother was showing off there, and said to the seventh elder brother: "Being awake at night is not a minor problem. It should be treated as soon as possible. I got two boxes of good agarwood here in the past few months. You can bring the medicine and incense in a while...
"
The Seventh Prince didn't want to mention this anymore, so he changed his subject and said, "Counting the days, the holy cavalry is about to turn back. Do you two still have to go to 'meet him'?"
If you want to go out to welcome someone, you can't just go there casually. You have to go to Zhezi first to ask for permission, and then you can go out to welcome someone.
Now it's time to ask for orders.
After hearing this, the ninth elder brother was immediately moved and looked at the tenth elder brother.
Shengjia did not go to Haidian this year, but took the Changping and Huairou route.
If you go out to welcome us, you can go to Xiaotangshan in one day, and you can go to Huairou in two days.
If you are in Xiaotangshan, you can take a look at how the palace is decorated.
If you are in Huairou, if you have enough time, you can also go to Hongluo Temple.
The air is crisp in autumn and it’s neither too cold nor too hot. It’s a good time to go out for a walk.
The tenth elder brother saw that the ninth elder brother was moved, and nodded: "If the ninth elder brother wants to go, just ask for permission, and I will co-sign at the back..."
He didn't mention the twelfth elder brother.
When accompanying the retinue, the emperor's father did not order the twelfth elder brother. Adding the twelfth elder brother at this time would only make the twelfth elder brother uncomfortable.
Brother Ninth also thought about this and said: "Okay, then we two brothers will join hands and go to Huairou to welcome him, and Brother Seven and Brother Twelve will look after the house..."
The twelfth prince looked unmoved. If he went to other places, it was impossible to say that he would be interested; but when he went to the Imperial Palace, he didn't care about it at all.
It was a hundred and twenty miles from the capital to Huairou and a hundred miles out to welcome him, which was also their filial piety as sons.
When I went there, I happened to be able to order fruits from an orchard in Changping.
Last year, there were too few sugar-watered peaches and sugar-watered apples to eat.
In the garden of the Prince's Mansion, a cellar was dug to store more apples and autumn pears.
After the brothers finished chatting, they started eating and drinking.
*
In the east room of the main courtyard, several of my sisters-in-law also ate.
Nowadays, swallow-wing banquets are popular in the capital, and they are all Kung Fu dishes. Their sister-in-law is the prince Fu Jin, so they have plenty to eat.
Shi Fujin looked at the dishes carefully and wondered: "Why are the dishes different from the dishes that Fourth Sister treated last time?"
It was also a swallow-wing mat last time.
However, whether it is the side dishes or the main dishes, few of them are the same as last time.
Qi Fujin looked at Shu Shu and said, "Is it because of the season?"
Because among the current dishes there is a dish of chrysanthemum agar-agar, which uses fresh chrysanthemums; there is also a dish of crab roe and shark's fin, and a dish of crab roe, which are also unique to this time.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Their Yan's Wing mat is made very finely, with different recipes for the four seasons, and there is also a separate Halal mat."
Qifu Jin immediately said: "Then when I celebrate my birthday in winter, I will also call them their dishes. Then we will see the winter recipes again."
Shu Shu smiled and said, "Then we'll wait."
Shi Fujin took a bite of crab roe and shark fin, and his mouth was filled with fragrance, and he said: "Then I'll treat you to a spring banquet and find a day to treat you."
The three siblings are all short of money.
Qi Fujin thought for a while and said: "If the fourth sister-in-law starts the campaign in September, the confinement period will be in October, and it will be the winter month to treat guests, so there will be more people."
Although each family has moved out of the palace for three years, they have rarely held any big banquets except hotpot banquets.
Because Prince Zhi had a filial piety before, there was no hostess, and no one served wine in recent years.
Here in Sanbeile Mansion, Sanfujin gave birth to a child and took care of the child, and there was no formal banquet.
The brothers at the back and their wives followed the crowd, so they didn't have many big banquets with guests.
"In the past three years, apart from the time when Eighth Prince married Fujin, I haven't had a few banquets..."
Qifu Jin sighed.
Shi Fujin had never met Da Fujin, and he had no sympathy for her. He said, "Now that the new sister-in-law has entered the house, do you want to follow that direction in the future?"
Qi Fujin nodded and said, "That's probably the case."
Shu Shu felt that there wouldn’t be many banquets by then.
When Ji Fujin comes in, he will act cautiously and follow the example.
Nothing happens when there are no precedents to follow.
That's fine too.
Shu Shu is not tired of going to banquets, but she doesn't like big banquets.
The banquet is just for making up the numbers, which is very tiring and not interesting.
A small banquet like this between brothers and sisters is much more comfortable. Everyone talks and laughs, plays cards and gossips, which relieves boredom.
After lunch, the three of them had tea for a while and then dispersed.
There will be a second dinner party here at the Prince's Mansion tonight.
It was a family banquet for the prince's palace staff and guards.
It’s also called the Swallow Wings Banquet, but it’s not the first-class one at noon, but the second-class one.
The price difference is not less than two taels of silver. This is the rule.
Three tables were opened in the front and one table was opened in the back.
Here in Shushu, all the people we entertain are the wives of the officials who live behind the scenes.
With Guizhen Gege, we don’t have much contact with the others, but we are still familiar with each other.
Only the eldest grandma of the Zhang family is older and has been related to everyone for a generation. The others are also young wives, only a few years older than Shu Shu, lively and pretty.
The eldest grandma of the Zhang family is also the daughter of a high-ranking official, but the rules of the bannermen are different, so she was a little cautious when she came to the prince's mansion before.
But as time went by, the two families were still married and felt much more comfortable.
Nowadays, there are many ceremonies for Cao Yueying, but he is a widower and his concubine takes care of his life, so he is not qualified to go to the prince's mansion for banquets.
Therefore, there were no outsiders at today's small banquet, and everyone felt much more at ease.
Grandma Zhang looked at everyone's comfort and said with envy: "I won't say anything else, I just want to say that the girl in the flag is enjoying the blessings, and the wife is also at ease."
It is a good habit to separate the family when you get married.
It doesn't take many years for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law.
Here, her stepson and daughter-in-law have come in, but before her parents-in-law, she still serves as a waiter.
Although I don’t have to eat three meals a day, it’s sad to think about the past ten years.
Fu Qing's wife said: "There are many old-school rules in Banner, but the most valuable thing is when you are a aunt in your parents' family."
After hearing this, Grandma Zhang glanced at Shu Shu.
Their family lives in the Imperial City, and they know a lot about the rules of the bannerman draft.
In the eyes of uninformed people, one would think that my sister-in-law's Jingui came from the "Eight Banners Draft", but Grandma Zhang knew that was not the case.
Even in a Baoyi family, the eldest daughter is different and can take over half of her natal family.
The Eight Banners emphasize marriage, mainly because their daughters are precious.
Who wouldn’t love an aunt like Jiu Fujin?
Even if he marries into the royal family, he still has confidence. People say that Jiu Fu Jin is blessed, and he is indeed a blessed person.
Guizhen sat next to Shu Shu and said in a low voice: "The wives of several left leaders and the wives of the governors are all asking about it."
There were three tables in front, but there was only one table for women because Shu Shu had reduced the number of people.
According to convention, since it is a family banquet, if the number of staff members is high, the left collar and the wife of the steward under the name of the ninth prince can also have a meal at the prince's residence. Unfortunately, Shu Shu only allows them to invite An to kowtow.
No one said anything to them.
"My heart is high. I wish I could be the master of this house. I can only stay away from him."
Shu Shu chuckled.
Last year, they were keeping an eye on the girl next to her, but they were reluctant to part with their eldest son, so they mostly used their second son and nephew to make up for the loss. This year, when she gave birth, there were rumors outside, so they started working hard again, trying to send the girl to work as an errand in the house.
Later, when a girl wanted to be admitted to the house, a high-spirited young lady came forward, and everyone knew about Sima Zhao's ambition.
In the primary election here in the government, these official families were not selected. They were all selected from the non-official families.
Because of this, their plans failed, and some people asked relatives and friends to spread the news to Concubine Yi, who simply didn't know what to say.
Because of this, Shu Shu was completely annoyed.
After hearing this, Guizhen frowned and said, "You still think that you are the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but you are thinking about being the second master?"
After hearing this, Shu Shu smiled and said: "It's really the Ministry of Internal Affairs' guarantee. My sister reminded me."
Of these two left-wing leaders, one of them is in charge of the population, even though he is named Ninth Elder Brother, but because Ninth Elder Brother has not flagged down, in fact they are still under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
If there is no chance of entering the palace, you can enter the palace.
Shu Shu planned to let them know when they came to the government next time to pay respects. If they wanted to send their daughter to work as an errand, they could apply directly here and participate in the "little election" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the first month of next year.
Because Brother Jiu is not good at drinking, today's banquet is complete with soju and rice wine, but the gentlemen here also have the right amount.
Everyone is a staff member of the Prince's Mansion, so this is not a place where you can drink freely.
On the contrary, the ladies here, Guizhen and Fuqing's wife, are all quite drinkers.
Shu Shu also had a few more cups of sweet wine.
When the banquet was over and everyone dispersed, Brother Jiu came back and saw a slightly tipsy Shu Shu.
When Brother Jiu saw this, he sat by the kang and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Have you asked someone to prepare some sobering soup?"
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and didn't answer.
Brother Jiu was worried and reached out to touch her head and said, "Drunk?"
Maybe it’s autumn, and people tend to become sensitive.
Shu Shu thought of Fucha and Fujin, and also thought of the famous "little rice cake".
The two of them have one thing in common, that is, they are both important ministers under the banner of the prince.
The population of the Eight Banners is so small. Which leftist leader does not have high-ranking officials?
When the ninth elder brother divides the population of the banner, his ambition will not be to flatter the government.
When the time comes, if you really want to give instructions to your subordinates, it will be the emperor's order.
Shu Shu thought and pinched Brother Jiu's waist.
Brother Jiu saw that she was unhappy, so he didn't hide and moved forward.
There wasn't much flesh that could be pulled out of this body, but Shu Shu couldn't bear it. She snorted, put down her hands, and said, "I feel unhappy!"
Brother Jiu took her hand and said, "What's wrong? Is there anyone who is disrespectful and makes you angry?"
Shu Shu nodded and said, "I didn't call the ladies of the left collar workers over today. Are those left collar ladies nagging?"
Brother Jiu said: "To apologize, I asked me to reprimand you. I told them that if someone is shameless and makes you unhappy, then their left collar can be replaced!"
After hearing this, Shu Shu felt warm in her heart.
But thinking that one day the population of the banner genus would be divided and the number would not be small, she looked at Brother Jiu and said: "Bao Yi is fine, but what if the population of the banner genus is serious? Like the teacher's family, with a big family and a big surname.
We have to be polite to the second-grade high-ranking officials when the time comes."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "How can there be such a rule? There is a difference between master and slave, how dare they disrespect the master? Now that they are becoming more respectable, there is still a difference between honor and inferiority. What if they become ministers and ministers? Unless they raise the flag.
, Otherwise, you will be a two-tiered master, attending weddings, weddings, and festivals. You should come to the house to ask for peace and serve..."
